Abstract: Structured query language injection is a top rated vulnerability by open web application security project community. If a web application has structured query language vulnerability in source code, then such application is prone to cyber-attacks, leading to attack on confidentiality, integrity and availability. Attackers are always ready to exploit structured query language injection vulnerabilities by executing various online attack vectors and many times successfully bypass authentication and authorization to gain privilege access on web and database server leading to service interruption, data interception, modification, fabrication and sometime complete deletion of database. The present paper is an attempt to propose an advance component based web application firewall to enhance web application security by mitigating structured query language injection attack vectors by analyzing hypertext transfer protocol request variables through analyzer component and defending injection attack through defender component based on content policy installed on advance web application firewall.
